Sexism really do be getting me down

I did not expect this this post of mine to attract as many people minimising SA as it did. Bit of a downer, yeah.
Goofy-ass, ridiculous instinct. Idk where people in privileged groups get this idea that condescending to or whining at people of marginalised groups is a good idea. I think the absolute bare minimum you can do is listen to those less privileged to you. It's not like the Institution Of Maleness needs defending.
(Good comment btw, I'm just on a roll today)
Yeah, it's a knee-jerk reaction, and it's dumb as hell. Even dumber are the ones who double down after being called out. It sucks to have your feelings hurt because someone was scared of you, but the sort of fucked up shit a creepy guy can do to women is far worse. Dudes seriously putting their feelings above other people's safety, it's fucked up.
